The gist
The project includes construction of Collin McKinney Parkway as a four-lane divided roadway between Lake Forest Drive and Tina Parkway.
The work also includes installation of traffic signals at two intersections along Collin McKinney Parkway including Lake Forest Drive and Hardin Boulevard, as well as roadway illumination along the entire span of the roadway.
A two-lane portion of the roadway between Tina Parkway and Hardin Boulevard was completed due to an adjacent development, Capital Improvement Projects Manager Blake Sills said, bridging the connection from Lake Forest Drive to Hardin Boulevard.
The $16.1 million project began in January 2023, and was funded by the city of McKinney.
The update
The construction work along the roadway is “substantially completed,” Sills said.
Additional work by the contractor is expected to be completed prior to the road opening, he said, noting that remaining work includes replacing damaged concrete panels and adding pavement markings in addition to other miscellaneous tasks.
The roadway is expected to be completed and open to traffic by the end of 2024, Sills said. The project includes construction of Collin McKinney Parkway as a four-lane divided roadway between Lake Forest Drive and Tina Parkway.
